This week has been busy!! We are preparing for Pastor Appreciation, getting the banner worship team started, I am still working my long term job, and I am working on a children's drama for July 4th! This, along with all the other daily life activities of a wife and mother.....if you are a wife and mother, you know how much that involves!

The exhaustion is setting in. Yesterday, it was annoyingly, bone-crushingly present. I looked at Daniel and said, "It's like I just ran out of gas.". I physically could not do another thing...and my head started throbbing. My wonderful husband looked at me and said "I'll cook dinner!". Hurray for my husband! After I had dinner, I felt better.  Some of my strength returned and I was able to wash the dishes, get Hannah and myself ready for church, go to church, get home, and put her to bed. Then I crashed! Today, I am feeling much better. I am still very ready for the weekend to arrive so that I can sleep in a little bit, though. I have school until 2:30, then I have errands to run, tutoring to do, Hannah to pick up, lunch to make for tomorrow, dinner to cook, dishes to wash, bath to give, teeth to brush, and stories to read.

Yesterday, Mom was telling me that she was praying that God would remove the things that I don't need to be doing, and leave the things He wants me to do. I told her that the tough part is, I need to be doing all of it! All of it is my responsibility, until such time that our church grows and we have more people willing to be in charge of things. So, you can pray for two things...pray that I will have the time to do all the things that I need to get done....and pray that God will send laborers to our church. We desperately need more people so that the same five folks don't have to do everything!

Please know that this is the place where I vent. I know that I am being heard, because I read the words back to myself, and I feel better. :)  I am not in any way, shape, or form unhappy with my life. I am enormously grateful for the ALL of the blessings in my life. But every lady needs rest some time. My "some time" is now! LOL I just need a good nap and some time at the feet of my Saviour. Then, all will be right with the world again. Have a great day, all.
